‘Counter-Strike’ Begins a ‘Global Offensive’

As far as the classics go, few can post the continued fan community dedication that Counter-Strike still boasts. Valve is looking to expand that already fervent fanbase with the newly announced expanded and retooled version of the seminal shooter, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Scheduled for 2012 on PC, PSN, and XBLA, Global Offensive adds “new maps, characters, and weapons,” along with revamped iterations of some of the original game’s content. The new Counter-Strike also looks to update its classic self to the modern age, with up to date matchmaking, leaderboards, and mode options.
